OTC Novi Beograd
Slang name for this shopping experience is "buvljak" or flea market as 30 years ago it was that. at present day, hundreds of independent shop owners have a "store" all brand new goods under the open sky. you can buy anything and everything there, from any type of clothes like italian jeans some are real, some are real good copies from novi pazar to gadgets, to toiletries, to cell phone accessories to the most obscure screw or nail — literally. pricing is way less than the malls and they actually have sizes for all shapes and sizes! you could spend a full day at the otc and not see everything.

The currency in Serbia is the dinar RSD. Money can be exchanged at official exchange offices locally called menjaÄnica, often carrying the emblem of the National Bank of Serbia outside the building, which are clearly labeled and they are numerous in central Belgrade, or at the airport. Micko on Vuka Karadzica street changes all currencies, including rare ones. There are many ATMs, which accept foreign bank and credit cards without a glitch note: they are new machines so you wonât have any problems with them. Visa, Visa Electron, Mastercard and Maestro are widely accepted though there are some shops, restaurants and hotels where cards are not accepted these are very few nowadays. American Express and Diners Club cards are, on the other hand, rarely accepted. Likewise, traveler's cheques are not a well known form of payment in Serbia and cashing them in could present a challenge. The dinar is not widely convertible outside Serbia; it is advisable to re-convert your remaining dinars to Euros or other major currencies before leaving the country. Old Yugoslavian currency can be purchased from street sellers. A 500 billion dinar note makes an interesting souvenir. At Kalemegdan you can pick up a set of 10 banknotes from the hyperinflation era plus 2 gratis postcards of Belgrade for 500 dinars or 5 euro.
The stores work into late hours during work days while on Saturdays they normally close around 15.00 and most of them are not open on Sundays. Therefore, finding an activity for the weekend must be thought of beforehand. Exception to this rule are shopping malls, usually working every day including Sunday until evening hours usually 10:00 PM.
At night, there are bars, cafés and discotheques that are open, selling cheaply priced drinks. Belgrade is reputed to have some of the best night life in Europe.
